   Looking at changing the rear lights on my Saxo but not decided on which to go for.I have seen LED lights,Jewel lights,Jewel tinted lights .... the list goes onI have chrome angels on the front so i'm not sure whether to have tinted or clear.
   What do you have on your Saxo and can you post the pics for me on here so i can see

   black jewells i reckon mate, imo will go with the colour of ur car
   
   clear look ok if you have a silver or the icelandic .thats my opinion

   is it just me, or does everybody suggest smoked jewells? i think its only a matter of time before they end up "common" like the lexus ones..... i would say stick with plain old original, or maybe go for something a bit different like these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CITROEN-SAXO-9...item5638b05e0f. personally i have chrome lexus lights on mine that i am going to spray black, just to see how they turn out. if they look gash i will just change back to standard

    To be honest I think your original photo looks far better then the tail lights you have fitted in there place. The ones you have on now just look cheap and nasty in my eyes
